Answer the Christian: Will Heaven be worth it?


1.  It was worth enough to God for Him to send His only Son to the earth, suffer an unjust death, and defeat sin so that you and I might spend eternity there with Him!

2.  The mere fact that we will be with God in Heaven for eternity exemplifies the unbelievable worth of Heaven! In fact, in 2 Corinthians 4:17, Paul calls our suffering a “momentary, light affliction”, which is “producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.”

3.  The eternity that awaits us in Heaven will bring an end to the suffering we regularly experience on earth. In Revelation 21:3-4, it is written that God will dwell among His children, and that “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”

4.  We will be fully redeemed, made complete, lacking in nothing, and in perfect relationship with the God who created us, chose us, and set us free from self-bondage. And it is only in Heaven where we can spend an eternity worshiping and thanking God for this beautiful and perfect truth.
